Winston represents a class of professional swimmers alleging World Aquatics (WA) violated antitrust laws by blocking their participation in the competing International Swimming League. After WA won summary judgment, Winston successfully appealed, arguing the court applied improper antitrust standards and wrongly denied certification of a damages class. In September 2024, the Ninth Circuit reversed both rulings, reviving all claims and issuing a landmark ruling on the possible application of the per se rule or quick look review to sports-associations rules. Am Law awarded Winston “Litigator of the Week” Runner-Up recognition for the win. In November 2024, the Ninth Circuit denied rehearing. In April 2025, the district court certified a damages class.

The Nasdaq is an electronic marketplace for buying and selling securities. Its name was originally an acronym for the “National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations”. Nasdaq started as part of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), now known as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Nasdaq was created after the Securities and Exchange Commission encouraged NASD to create an automated market for securities not listed on an exchange. The result was the first electronic trading system. Nasdaq opened in 1971 as the first electronic trading system. Nasdaq began to operate as a national securities exchange in 2006.
